Events calendar
We invite you to join us online on Thursday 5th December, from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM for our Converging on Cancer International Seminar.
The CRUK Convergence Science Centre is a partnership between Imperial College London and The Institute of Cancer Research. In collaboration with our international partners we arrange a monthly international seminar 'Converging on Cancer' on the topic of interdisciplinary cancer research. Our partners are
On the first Thursday of each month, we bring together speakers from across these institutions to present their research and how they use convergence science to answer cancer-related questions.
This session will be chaired by Prof Charlotte Bevan from Imperial.
Thursday 5th December, 11-12pm GMT, 12-1pm CET, 7-8pm SGT
Prof Wouter Karthaus (EPFL): Targeting lineage plasticity in prostate cancer
Drug resistance mediated by cancer cell plasticity poses a major clinical problem. Lineage plasticity i.e., differentiation to a cellular phenotype independent of the drug target is a major mechanism of resistance to therapies targeting the androgen receptor signalling axis in prostate cancer. In my talk I will discuss recent advances in our understanding of lineage plasticity using organoid technologies.
Prof Wolfgang Weber (TUM): New developments in theranostics
Prof Weber specialises in the field of molecular imaging and targeted radionuclide therapy. His research focus is the combination of imaging and therapy of cancer (theranostics).
Researchers, students and anyone with an interest in convergence science relating to cancer research across our partnered institutions are welcome to register:
